stocking question...

[NowherMan6]

i'm thinking of ways to up the stocking in my 46 gallon tank. right now there are 6 tiger barbs in there. would i be able to add 1 bristlenose pleco and 4 yo-yo loaches? or is that too much? i'm not too crazy about upping the tiger barb school, only because the reason it went from 11 to 6 is because one barb got overly aggressive and harassed the others, and right now the school seems pretty balanced, no one is killing anyone else.

so would that stocking scheme work? thanks

Yep, those fish would be fine. You could even go with 2 bristlenose, since you'll need to supplement them with algae tabs and veggies anyway. If you end up with a m/f, they may spawn for you--pretty cool thing, with the male egg-sitting and later gaurding the fry.

know of any good places to find plecos online? liveaquaria is alwasy an option but the 30 dollar minimum is a pain...

Hmm...I don't, really. Most of the fish I look at online are SW.
